My interest is in
Touch Drawing Personal Use, Facilitating Touch Drawing
What brings you to an interest in Touch Drawing or SoulCards?
I have been doing Touch drawing for about 10 years, as a participant and a facilitator, in educational and therapeutic settings. i teach Touch Drawing as one of the core courses in the Art and Healing Certificate Program at Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL. My co-teacher, Victoria Domenichello-Anderson and myself believe that Touch Drawing is potentially such a powerful creative and personal experience that all the students in this Expressive Arts program can benefit greatly by taking the class. I have been teaching small weekly Touch Drawing workshops in my studio for about a year and a half as well. As a visual artist, I mount many of my Touch Drawings on canvas and further develop them, usually with acrylics.I have attended one TD gathering.
My experience applies to:
Therapy, Art, Creativity, Education, Aging, Health, Abuse, Grief, Parkinsons, Meditation, Expressive Arts
Other areas of interest & experience
I am a Registered Expressive Arts Consultant Educator and am devoted to bringing the power of the Expressive Arts (including Touch Drawing) to a wide variety of people in a a myriad of settings. I have a business, Expressive Arts Florida, with my wonderful colleagues: Victoria Domenichello-Anderson, Tamara Teeter Knapp and Elizabeth Bornstein. We are doing team building, expressive arts therapy, retreats, classes and workshops for adults and children.

Share a special experience with Touch Drawing or SoulCards.
At the Touch drawing gathering, I had a very powerful and unexpected experience with drawing my response to the death of my mother.
This was profoundly healing. Please see Nancy Watson's page, as she created a moving video of my drawings and writing. This video "Touch drawing: Journey Through Grief" is also available on the "videos" page.
Do you facilitate SoulCards with others?
No
Is there anything else you would like us to know about you?

IMAGES OF SOUL.....TOUCH DRAWING EXHIBIT AT EXPRESSIVE ARTS FLORIDA

We are currently hosting our first community Touch Drawing Exhibit at Expressive Arts Florida. It is amazing and powerful to stand in a room surrounded by the energy of the Touch Drawings of 20 people! The Artist's Reception was last Friday evening, and it generated a lot of curiosity, fascination, and interest in the touch drawing process.
I have posted some images here. We are blessed to have Deborah's beautiful "Seeds of Compassion" so gracefully and lovingly holding the space in our gallery!… Continue

Hi Kathleen - I read in one of your posts that you come to Vancouver BC in the summer? Is that still so? I am very interested in your applications for TD. I'm not sure I can do the heat of FL this time of year - very northern ancestry, you know. :-) I cannot make the july workshop on whidbey and am desperate to have more in-depth with a practitioner so that I can share with others. Especially a parkinsonian in Norwich, england. As I'm not a therapist, I want to be sure not to cross any boundaries, but to bring this as an opportunity for a past artist who no longer can hold a brush.

Thanks Kathleen, I am also in three circles here in our area. We are just outside of Jacksonville. Visual Journaling, a group for just sharing and exchanging journals. it is brand new and we having a blast. I also participate in a wellness circle for women. I do workshops in art and looking forward in participating in this forum. Do you know about www.milliande.com, a visual journaling group. Look it up if you have the time. Carol

Thanks, Kathleen. I look forward to participating in this forum. I am also excited to be going to the IEATA conference in August. I've signed up for the pre-conference and the main conference. It would be nice to schedule a gathering with all Art and Healing students attending. It would be even better to make some group art.

Hi Kathleen, feel free to list the "Art Continuum" show in the events section. I'm sort of new on how to use the facilities of sites like this.

Hi Kathleen!
Sorry it's been so quiet from my end! I hope you had a great summer in BC. It looks like the Sarasota EA community just keeps on expanding! That is wonderful! I've been facilitating the group at work on a regular basis for the students and it is going well. We've also started incorporating some EA activities into the Family workshops/retreats that we facilitate on a regular basis. Next I am hoping to make some contacts in the community to start a group somewhere outside of the school but I need to find a graphic designer to help me with a website first... ;-)
Big Hugs to You,
Tanjariitta

Kathleen,

As I was looking over the members section, your name popped out at me for obvious reasons. Your work is just beautiful! I experimented years ago with Touch Drawing, put the work aside for a few years to launch my art business and am now just coming back into it in full form. How did you begin introducing yourself as a Touch Drawing facilitator in your community?

Kathleen
